[QUOTE="Scotland Yard, post: 694902, member: 5934"] Just can't get on board with comparing Ty to the slop guys you put forth. Hate is too strong a word, but, some of you folks are dragging Ty through the mud for some unknown reason. Gado, Preston and Boykin were all undrafted I believe. Flynn and Starks were 6th or 7th round guys. Very few talent evaluators put much stock in these guys to ever amount to much in the NFL. Ty, however, was a 3rd round pick (top 100) when he was drafted, and highly regarded for his athletic traits coming into the league. It is not blind optimism for Packer fans to hold out hope that Ty is going to be a good RB going forward. It is perfectly reasonable to expect a solid return on that investment. Your example of benching/trading Rodgers for Flynn makes no sense at all as a comparison. There is no RB ahead of Ty right now to "trade or bench", he's all we got. (Lacy, Starks & Michael are all FA's). And what does "contract year" and "cap hell" have to do with anything? Ty's not a FA until 2019. [Worth noting that Favre was traded so Rodgers could play...guess we'd be stuck with Flynn at QB right now if you were the GM because you'd have never traded Favre? Because it would be "ignorant" to assume Rodgers might pan out as a good player, right? And remember, Rodgers had played in fewer games at that point than Ty has at this point. Just saying.] Comparing Ty to Gado, Preston and Boykin is truly pessimistic and insulting. If you're that kind of fan, fine. Maybe it is you who needs "patience" before you compare Ty to a pile of garbage players and imply he is on the same path. Hate may be an ugly term, but, calling posters intolerant and ignorant isn't exactly friendly in my book. [/QUOTE]
